Through strategic planning, sustainable development can be applied to companies that are interested in being examples of sustainability. The model of sustainable technological innovation considers four environmental, economic, social and institutional dimensions whose development leads to the sustainability of the company. In the case of a mining industry, this model was applied to identify the dimension of greatest impact for decision-making and actions in the short time, for which six sectors of the company were taken into account, management, suppliers, workers, community, customers, and consumers. The results show that among sectors there is no dominant preference for any dimension, so that decision making can start in any of them; in addition, the statistical results show that each dimension depends on one or two dimensions more to show positive results for sustainable development. This result confirms the proposal of the technological innovation model that establishes an interdependent relationship between the four dimensions.
